Water → Adipic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

An operation was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except that trifluoroacetic acid containing 0.1 mass % of water was replaced by an aqueous solution containing 93.1 mass % (90 volume %) of trifluoroacetic acid and that cyclohexanone was used as a raw material for reaction. As a result, no adipic acid (intended product) was obtained and cyclohexanone used as a raw material was recovered quantitatively.
